Thanks! That's what I was thinking but then again I can understand not wanting to go through the PITA to deal with the website if Airways is imminently going to halt interviewing. Those applying in this window still won't get called until they close out the May window. I was asked if they'd even get to the current open window and my answer was ???

I filled out an App on 9 Feb 14 and it still shows "under review". I guess my app is under the new window?

Hueypilot

Yes. They won't look at these apps until the window closes. Last month they were still interviewing out of the May window.

Is it possible to update resume or application info when the window not oppened? I applied back in August and I am unable to update any info other than my contact information.

Mine also says "under review"

Thanks!

I'm also in the pool at DL. So I have a decision to make. Lucky me I've been told, but its a tough choice. I live an hr away from CLT,which would be great! But no guarantee CLT with remain a hub down the road. Anyone care to speculate on future of CLT? Also, how long before a new hire in class today expect to hold CLT? Pro & Cons DL vs US ( besides the obvious)?

CLT is the second largest hub behind DFW. It was the number 1 profit center for the former US Airways.

If it isn't a hub then neither will there be an airline to work for.

If you don't get it right out of the gate then probably 6 months or so.

If you don't get CLT right off the bat, you should be able to get it within three months.

As for Delta vs here...obviously, some pros and cons to both. My main concern here is this SLI (and the last SLI for that matter). Not for for my own sake as a new hire, but rather that this could be an ugly few years. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm keeping my options open just in case. Also, though I'm new to this industry, from reading on here it seems like our and American's contract is very weak compared to Delta. The guys around here have been kicked in the junk for so long that they don't really seem to think that it will improve (just my anecdotal impression). Though people will tell you that first year pay shouldn't be a factor, it makes a difference and is much higher at Delta.

On a positive side, I will say that the training has been great? Hotels provided, full pay, per diem, positive space home on days off, great instruction, and great people to work with. What we'd call a gentleman's course in the Air Force.

You can find lots of speculation on CLT's future on this forum and elsewhere. I have no opinion on that. To me, life would be awesome if I lived near CLT working here. I just have no desire to live there or in any of our domiciles, so I'll always commute.

It looks like the Wait for class is long a Delta, so you probably ought to just take the US Airways class. You'd still have the option to bail to your Delta class in the future.

twoshadesblue,

Congratulations on your two offers. I am sure you are trying to weight your options wisely. I personally encourage you to favor newAmerican. The proposed international growth and attrition is amazing.

To your question, CLT will continue to grow in ATLs shadow. The airport has extremely low operating costs that will drive the continuous expansion. ie. The CLT airport is continuously buying all adjacent property.
